In Britain from 1800 to1900.
20,000 Waterwheels decreased in number.
Windmills decreased in number.
The Englishman Thomas Newcomen's 1,500 Atmospheric Pumps disappeared.
The Scotsman James Watt's 500 Steam Engines and their descendants increased in number to 10,000,000 !!!
For every SINGLE Waterwheel in 1800 there were now 500 James Watt type Steam Engines and their descendants in 1900 !!!
The Power output of the whole country increased by 500 times, and so, Production capacity !!!
In one human lifetime.
And you don't need a flowing river of water for each one either!
This WAS the Industrial Revolution, it was a Power Revolution and it was kicked off by only one single Invention, James Watt's Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Powered Engine in Scotland.
It was nothing to do with efficiency, it was all due to the dumping of Newcomen's Atmospheric Power and Arkwright's Water-Power for Steam Power.
Take away James Watt's Steam Power and you don't get an Industrial Revolution.
